Default More out of this HCI setup?

I have a HCI + full bolt on c5z that put down 468/415 on a superflow dyno with dynojet correction factor.

I am looking to make a bit more power without going FI or on the bottle.
here is the setup:

01 z06, AFR 210 heads (unported. 66cc)
621 623 232 234 @ 114
Headers
Powerbond UDP
Fast 92 (unported)>Ported LS2 TB>SLP Blackwing intake
and all of the supporting mods,
Im thinking get the heads milled to up the compression to make power and possibly port the 92 or get the 102. What else would you do to make more power and how much is there more on the table with my setup?

How does the actually run? That much power can be challenging to use on the street under 55mph.

How about what tranny/converter and gear?

I want to also say, if it were me personally, I would not waste the time or money to gain that extra 20-30 hp. That's just me though

Most here would probably not spend the money to get more.
More cost for less gain at this point. But I would, and in this order
1 get Fast 102 and have Tony Mamo port it 12-15 more than unported
92. Sell fast 92 keep ported LS2 TB and get power ring for Fast 102
To eliminate step. LS2 TB easier to tune and will flow all the air you
Need to ~550 rwhp.
2.send heads to Tony Mamo to mill and port pick up another 15 or
So Hp
3. At this point drivability is the same, changing cam for 2-4 more degrees
Of exhaust duration with custom valve events could pick-up another
15-20 hp or more specced by Tony, Martin @ Tick or Pat G. And completely
Change driving characteristics depending on your goals and wants.
Again not cheap but you are 90% there it's only Money LOL!

Honestly I would leave all the parts alone and hit it with nitrous you would spend a lot on getting an extra 20 hp out of the combo when changing different internals. Numbers are already stout.

That sounds like a really good combo already. If I were you, I'd port match the intake myself. That would cost you basically nothing and be worth a few extra ponies.
